AN INTERESTING DECISION AFFECTING LIFE MsUR-
ANCR COMPANIES.
An important life insurance case which has at
tracted much attention and discussion throughout
the country was decided In the United States Court
in Chattanooga, Tenn, yesterday by Judge D. M.
Key. The case was that OF Yonge VS.. the EQuita-
BILE Life Assurance CO. OF New York city. Ynpge
made application for 5000 OF insurance, ana the
policy was issued, but was not presented at the
assured's place of business until TWO weeks after
its date. when the policy was ready for delivery
it was learned that the assured was sick, and, al
though the premium was rendered IL was refused
Five weeks arterward the assured died, and the
policy being still In the hands OF the local agent
an Injunction was secured, preventing its return
The company contested the claim, because the ap-
plication for insurance contained clause provid-
ing that the nrst premium must be paid during
the life and good health OF the assured Judg
Key gave judgment for the pialntln lor the lace
that the policy went into force when the applica-
ton was accepted and the policy issued; that the
clause upon which the company predicated its de-
tense was waived by the fact that the agent OF the
Company had given the application Indulgence
as to the payment OF the premium, and that the
company was responsible for the delay In the de-
livery OF the policy, which was occasioned by an
error on the part OF the companys medical exam

In the meantime, the speaker continued, there
had sprung up in America new Quackism known
as Thompsonianism- This was the invention OF an
imPecunious uneducated, but probably honest,
Thompson. He claimed to originate the theory OF

ease was animal heat confined! He published a
work On medicine, and his followers were found
everywhere. His book abOundS in curiosities: for
instance his opening remark on the subject OF
carbuncles Is unique. "The carbuncle is a large

his system, and his followers paid for the right to
use In their own families. We have had other sets
